MMORPG: Rebirth of the Shadow Mage

The Prince used one of his skills and hid his presence. I warily looked through the window. Him being invisible does not prevent him from casting other spells.

Whoosh...

A Dark Ball suddenly appeared in the air and was launched towards my face. Lowering my body I dodged the spell. Taking a peek through the window I strained my eyes until I saw a shadow hovering to my right.

Pretending not to see it I conjured a Lightning spear and held it above the head. As soon as another Dark Orb started forming I instantly shifted my body to the right and threw the Spell.

- 109 Magical Damage!

The Dark Prince suffered from Status Effect < Bleed >

~ Lose 50 HP every minute

~ Duration → 1 min

The spear impaled the prince's palm. Black blood started spurting out of his hand.

- 15 HP

The Electrocution effect struck the Prince once again. The boss's Darkness Robe came undone after he took the damage from the spear. Hissing in pain he eyed me seemingly trying to kill me with his gaze.

Grinning, I threw another projectile at the boss, unfortunately the boss finally got serious and evaded the spear by using his passive skill Burst Steps. While he was dodging the spear I unknowingly held my breath, because the prince's speed was so fast that left his afterimages.

Conjuring another spear I started waiting for the prince to start chanting his spell. Unlike me this boss isn't very intelligent due to being low level. Bosses gain human-like consciousness once reaching Lv. 100. The Prince's thinking is narrow and the only thing he knows is how to chant spells and how to attack his enemy.

The Prince started chanting another Darkness Blast, but a certain lightning projectile prevented him from finishing it.

- 216 Critical Hit!

- 15 HP

- 50 HP

Both Bleed and Electrocution Status Effects ran out. I've managed to lower the boss's HP to around 2000. I felt my Mana reserves running dry, but didn't want to use the MP potion, because it might stagnate my Mana Regen skill level ups.

Waiting is not a problem, this boss doesn't have any healing spells, hence will not heal his HP unless I die. The Prince will recover his MP, but that's good, because he will continue to throw spells and give me time windows to attack him.

< UPGRADES >

1️⃣ Mana Regen <Lv.2>→ <Lv.3>

~ +100% Mana absorption

-- 15MP per minute

Soon enough my Mana Regen leveled up. The Max level of the skill is Lv. 10. The Skills and Spells gain a massive upgrade at Lv. 5, but upon reaching Lv. 10 they will evolve into a stronger version. The evolved version of the Skills and Spells were called Authorities.

In my past life all the top players had Authorities. Authorities were very powerful and I've even seen a Water Mage raise a Tsunami in the middle of a desert. I've heard that the strongest player, Lightning mage could create a Lightning Storm - her own domain where she is invincible.

Shaking off my thoughts I felt that my MP is full and got ready to re-engage with the boss. Lifting my head I saw the boss glaring daggers at me, before taking a step forward. I was a bit confused, as to why he was coming closer to me, but soon the confusion disappeared when everything around me turned Dark.

My sight was temporarily gone...

I instinctively lowered my head before a large explosion was heard and the room started shaking from vibrations. The Spell prince thrown must've had some fire properties, because I could instantly smell the smoke.

- 12 HP

Some fire got onto my clothes forcing me to blindly roll around the room to extinguish it.

Blink.. Blink...

I blinked my eyes. Finally, I got my sight back! Looking around I quickly used my feet to trample the fire that was slowly spreading in the room.

After extinguishing the fire I drank another healing potion while my lip corners unknowingly curled up.

' I hope to get one of the boss's skills '

The Loot boss will drop upon his death will be random, but unique meaning that only Leo will have that Skill or Spell in the entire game.

Getting a Skill or Spell from the boss is rare and game developers specifically made sure that all the Spells and Skills bosses possess are very strong.

Raising my head I stood up and began another round of javelin throwing.

~~~~

Boss health became lower and lower every single throw...

Finally it hit the 500 HP mark.

As a hidden boss, he has to have a hidden form right ?

Wrong!

This boss just goes berserk throwing all the spells randomly, sacrificing his HP to increase the Spells' damage.

When I saw the boss's Eyes turn bloodshot I smiled and lowered my head. All I needed to do was to survive the onslaught.

Covering my head with arms I kneeled at the corner of the room and then the Fiesta began.

Boom.... Boom... Roaaar... Boom...

The Prince lost his head and went on a rampage causing massive destruction in the library. Good thing that the castle walls were specifically enhanced and were not shattered by the prince's onslaught. The same couldn't be said about the bookshelves and other furniture like chairs, tables, couches.

Everything that got in the way of the Prince's rage was destroyed.

Soon enough the prince's HP hit 200. I knew that the prince wouldn't die on his own, his HP would stagnate at 1 and won't move.

Slowly raising my head I saw a Dark Beam randomly passing through the library evaporating everything in its way. I held my breath... The library looked like a warzone.

Finally the Prince's HP reached 1, but he did not stop. In the frenzy state the Prince will have infinite MP until somebody kills him or the party attempting to defeat him will die.

Raising my aching body I took a long breath and started guiding MP towards my arm. I felt Mana pass under and through my skin gathering in the Palm. Shaping the Mana into a spear I felt the weapon gain Lightning properties until small sparks started dancing around the spear's surface and my wrist.

Raising the Projectile above my head I took a deep breath and tensed up all the muscles in my body. Taking two steps forward I extended my hand and launched the projectile at the Prince...

Whoosh...

The spear pierced through the air colliding with the prince's chest.

- 235 Critical Hit!
